581  Economy / Gambling / Re: BK8 - Biggest and Most Trusted Brand. Asia's #1 Crypto online casino BTC & USDT on: December 25, 2023, 02:56:27 PM
As a boxing enthusiast, I'm happy to see BK8 X Manny Pacquiao:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7zeoCFzfcQ

Hopefully the partnership will last long as it's good to see Manny being one of the brand ambassador of BK8.

Thanks for sharing the link here. Pretty cool mate! I am a big boxing fan as well and Manny Pacquiao is the only 8-division champion in the history of the sport. So it's an honor BK8 can get endorsed by a legend and one of the very best in the sport. And now I am more interested in getting a BK8 apparel.

Good move by BK8. Pacman is a good ambassador for this gambling site as he is very popular worldwide, people love him, so Pacman endorsing BK8 will certainly result to increase of audience for this gambling site. This is the beginning, maybe more popular sports celebrities will partnered with BK8 to help this site grow bigger.

By the way, i have a question, was the youtube profile used in this advertisement video is own by BK8? I'm just curious because they only have 18 followers, which I assume they aren't too focus in using youtube for their marketing.

The Golden State Warriors finally winning most of their games. They are now on their 5th winning streak but later it will be a problem if they will continue that winning streak. They will be up against the strong Denver Nuggets which are also on their 4th winning streak. My worry is who will be defending Nikola Jokic, it could become an easy score for the Nuggets if no one can stop him. I doubt Saric could do the job, he is too small to stop the skillful big and I bet Coach Malone would take advantage of that, without any doubt.

I am amazed at how the Warriors defeated the Boston Celtics days ago but that's because they played fire with fire. Considering how good the defense of the Nuggets is, it will be a different fight.
Klay Thompson is on his 6th game 20+ points per game. I think he will be the key for the Warriors to win one more time and continue their streak. It would be a good confidence booster if they did. Still, I am betting for the Nuggets on this game.


Jokic and Gordon inside that's really a headache for the Warriors, knowing how good Jokic in terms of passing the ball or finishing the basket,
the only chance Warriors have is the firepower that they've got, but the next question is how they will execute.

Knowing how good also the Nuggets in terms of protecting the basket and they've got players who can rotate to tail both Curry and Klay.

We can only conclude once they are already playing, the way they will execute both offense and defense will be the key factor here.

We are seeing a different GSW and Denver Nuggets, if before the Warriors can dominate the Nuggets, not this after they won the championship as they already have a deep line up with the Warriors have been inconsistent despite of their win streak. It's a road game for the Warriors, they normally struggle on this situation and they'll challenge the Nuggets who are 11-2 at home, so good luck to them. I don't want myself to be hype with what the Warriors had achieve recently as I'm with the real deal here and that is the Nuggets.

A decent gambling site should be transparent and fair, but we must still be watchful. While community strength is in numbers, personal effort is the first defence. A healthy and engaging gambling experience requires trust and caution in online venues.

This is true, we should know what we are doing, so in case we sign up to a gambling site to play, before we agree with their terms, everything that is written was already understood. Complaining in the end is useless because every casino might have a different rules, once you sign up, that simply means you agree to it.

Actually, for gamblers who doesn't really risk huge money, it's okay not to read the terms especially if they can just let go of their money in case their account will be ban and funds will be frozen. In the end, it's still up to our choice, and all the time it's important to be aware of the risk.

Positive always attracts positivity, while negative bears negativity. But if you know how to do things in balance and in caution, you will never resort into failure and losses.

Investing in bitcoin creates a good opportunity to make future profits, by hodling it for long term. Even with small investment, the fact that you decide to take the risk, it will have a positive outcome waiting ahead. However, if you gamble at your own risk, ending in destitute is far to happen. But if you gamble like there's no tomorrow, you will definitely be wreck in time.

The term trader itself does not automatically means that you are a profitable trader. Some are still starting learning the process so expect that they will mostly lose than achieve profits. And others are only claiming profitable traders because they want to create a big impression on the people that recognize them, especially if they want to gain the trust of the people on social media.

Most traders are not profitable. Because if they really are, they will not take advantage anymore other opportunities just to stay in profits and would only focus on their craft.

If you are looking for specific knowledge about bitcoin, then bitcointalk is the key. You will learn not only bitcoin but the whole crypto market, as well as altcoins, meme coins and shitcoins. You can also gained learning experiences from the pioneers who enter the crypto market at its early years.

However, if you are in search of various topics that would create interest to the people and its viewers, YouTube is the one. But not all YouTube influencers are proven legit and reasonable.  Some are just trying to pinpoint their own concept about the topic and just like want to share what's going on in their own mind.

Wilder is so done, when he can't knockout his opponent, he'll lose. That's what happen to his fight against Parker as he wasn't boxing, he was just looking for that one punched KO, but it didn't happen.

I would say that it's a big upset because Wilder is the heavy favorite.

I was a bit dissapointed as I was thinking the Wilder vs AJ fight would happen, but this looks like the end of it, I mean it's not gonna happen and we might see Parker vs AJ?
588  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Teofimo Lopez Vs. Jamaine Ortiz WBO Welterweight Title February 8 on: December 24, 2023, 10:26:53 AM
Yeah, but that's still considered a dominant win because he won on the 3 judges scorecard, although both scored 115-113, that's close but we haven't heard any complaints from the side of Teo that they have been cheated or the score is not fair.

You might not call it schooling, but if you read this article from below:

Quote
Despite Lopez's clear dominance, the scorecards were a bit of a scare for the new champion, reading 115-113, 115-113, 117-111.

https://www.cbssports.com/boxing/news/josh-taylor-vs-teofimo-lopez-jr-fight-results-highlights-the-takeover-scores-big-upset-to-earn-wbo-title/live/

The score was close but if we were able to watch the fight, we can say that Teofimo was really the one dictating the fight, so we can also call that schooling since it's expected that Josh Taylor would have a good fight, IIRC, he was even the favorite (probably slight only) but Teofimo steal that moment in the fight as right from the start, it's already evident that Teofimo was very comfortable and winning every round.

I think even Josh Taylor himself knows he lose the fight, so that alone is already a proof that it he was dominated.

Quote
Josh Taylor believes he simply had a “bad night” when he lost to Teofimo Lopez earlier this summer.

Greetings everyone!

I really want to know if merit is necessary in other to secure my account, my friend who introduced this site to me said, I must have merit

Please how do I get this merit and how is it important.

You won't lost your account even if you have no merits at all. There is no rule in the forum that one should acquire merits in order to secure its account. That is, if your purpose is simply to learn and interact with other forum members. You can stay as long as bitcointalk is available.

However, if what you mean is to secure your account in a campaign, then merits is really necessary. In the first place, if you don't have earned merits, you can never be qualified to be accepted in a campaign. You have to improve your posting quality in order to attract merits from other members.
590  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Follow the technique if you have zero trading knowledge in crypto on: December 23, 2023, 04:39:44 PM
One who is not knowledgeable in trading cannot follow certain trading techniques correctly. Maybe it's easier being said than done, and any newbie in trading is expected to commit a lot of mistakes first before he tries to improve and come up with better trading results. I guess the best advice is to encourage first those who have no trading knowledge to educate theirselves first before they enter trading.

Trading is not like investing that only needs prior knowledge and is ready to go, because trading itself requires good analysis on the market as well as development of skills and strategies before one decides to take risk in trading.
591  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title - December 26 on: December 23, 2023, 03:06:11 PM
Lets see on how long that Tapales would be able to handle those solid body shots from Inoue. For sure he do make out some preparation on how he would really be avoiding that.
We do know that INoue is really have that power and speed on which it is really just that right that they should really be that careful into this one.


He can't handle it if he would allow himself to get hit by Inoue's solid shots. Tapales needs to assert his power to Inoue as well so Inoue will not just bully him in the fight. If Tapales will hit Inoue and Inoue felt the power of Tapales, that might make Inout not too aggressive and he'll just play the chess game.

With that, I believe Tapales would last in 12 rounds and there's a possibility that he can win the fight.

Giving Inoue high confidence early will only make the life of Tapales miserable in the duration of the fight, so he has to be careful, his movement should be well calculated.

If i were in the corner of Tapales on fight night, i would advise him not to respect too much Inoue's power as that would game Inoue the much needed confidence on the fight. I know that those body shots are lethal but he should also avoid those and counter whenever he can. Easily said than done but this is the only way Tapales would win the fight, be aggressive and not just be on the ring to survive.
Running around or planning to buy some time to evade up that actual in-fight would really just let things getting in favor with Inoue and  this is something that they should really be that careful with because if not then they would really be putting themselves on such trouble and it is really just that right that they should really be giving Inoue a hard time in speaking about infights just like on what happened into Donaire.
That kind of style would really be would really be that an effective one if Donaire wasnt short with that stamina and that would really be that a good example for Tapales on at least having the idea on how
he would really be getting that giving a good fight by not running just like into those previous fighters that Inoue on which they are really that too evasive.
Most specially if it will end up to the judges scorecards, don't expect anymore that Tapales would still be favored by the judges. I'm sure Tapales camp knows about that possibility, and they don't want to reach this fight to 12 rounds, they will create a strategy to beat Inoue vi KO/TKO. As to what strategy is that, we will find out during the actual fight and at the same time we will also find out if that will work. Maybe have tried to defeat Inoue but nobody succeeded, so it will surprise the world if Tapales will come up on top and win via KO.
592  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: December 23, 2023, 02:01:10 PM
Lol. It looks like only DraftKings offers such a bet. I'd say it really looks tempting, but at the same time, it's too risky, even if you place a small bet. I mean, even though the Pistons are performing very poorly and looking completely hopeless this regular season, there is still a high probability that they can win at least 2-3 more games before the end of the regular season.

That's a long way to go. Upon checking on their schedules, their last game will be next year April 15, 2024, so there's still almost 4 months of playing, for sure they'll win at least one game. Once the playoffs are approaching and there are teams who have already secured their spot, they will not likely play harder since it will be a non- bearing game for them, that if they will reach to that level and the Pistons losing streak is still active.

That bet look promising now, but based on the statistics, there's a "0" chance it will win.
593  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does casino streamers have influence in your gambling life? on: December 23, 2023, 01:00:48 PM
I don't usually watch gambling streamers as I know most of them are just working with the gambling site they are promoting. So when they are working, you can't expect that their give an honest review, or that they are transparent with what they are saying.

They'll find ways to promote the gambling site so they can make money, either through referral bonus, or just a salary from the gambling site itself.

They could be fun to watch for newbies, but as for me who have been in gambling for awhile, I know my interest already and that I don't rely others to win in gambling.
594  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: A piece of advise to everyone. on: December 22, 2023, 09:59:13 PM
Criticisms are normal in the forum, of course you will be often corrected and criticized especially if you are still a newbie. Just accept the fact that you are still incapable to do things in the forum, that's why you have to be more open for criticisms. As long as its constructive criticisms, then I have no against with it.

Instead of making some arguments to prove your own point, just respect every member in the forum. That is if you want to stay longer in the forum and just work at your own pace.
595  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: You lose more when you over trade on: December 22, 2023, 03:08:43 PM
For experienced traders, we all know that overtrading may not lead into positive outcome. However, for newbies in trading, it's normal to see them wanting to trade consistently in order to make frequent profits. Greed makes them resort into overtrading. And for me, it's useless to stop them from trading when their urge to trade is higher, but until they start to lose more frequently, that's the time they will try to control their urge to avoid future losses.

Newbies will come to understand that not all the time the market allows them to make profitable trades. Yes, they can trade as much as they can but they can never expect that the market will be kinder to them and make their trades successful. At some point, they need to experience losses so they can understand the lesson in trading.

Congrats OP on your first purchase. With your eagerness to invest, you have now your first bitcoin in your wallet. Just do the DCA afterwards, so you can increase more of your bitcoin hodling. While you are in the process of accumulating more bitcoin, see to it that you are learning continuously in the forum and learn from the experiences of the first investors as well. Bitcoin is a highly profitable investment, but if you don't have the proper knowledge to manage your investment, it will also never prosper and won't see any positive development.

Consistent learning in the forum is a must. Most especially that you are investing in a high risk asset, the more that you have to be knowledgeable on how to succeed on your investment.

I think they are just making the deal because of how much the fans wanted to see it but this won't be easily happening because Green is not a fighter and he does his thing whenever his victims are in the blind spot. He cannot do that against Jake Paul, though I want to see him get beaten, he wouldn't sacrifice his career just because of the offer but let's see how this one will end up.

It's one of the hottest issues right now in the NBA and Jake Paul being the hype job, he knows how to make fans interested on him and so they make Green a offer he can't refused, (if this is true). But I'm not sure if the NBA or the Warriors will allow him to do so. I mean he is still under contract and maybe there are some stipulations that Green can't do this kind of stuff outside of the NBA. And it will be bad for him, and currently it's not about the money, but his mental state. He needs to go to counselling first and re-evaluated in the next 3 weeks and not to think about this kind of matches that might added more pressure on his side.

Jake Paul just trying to ride with the hot issue in the NBA. I sure he is smart, he understands that Draymond is still under contract, if NBA players that are under contract aren't allowed to play outside the league because there's a risk of getting injured, how much more a contact sport that could potentially damage the health of Draymond Green.

So nope, this is impossible to happen for now. If Jake Paul is really interested, he has to wait until Draymond Green will retire and allow him to train in boxing first to improve his punching ability.  Grin

I know this situation is difficult where your mind is with the team you bet and your heart wants your favorite team to win.

This is a familiar strategy in sports betting, "bet against yourself". If you are a gambler who constantly record the outcome of your bets and you notice that you have high losing percentage, then betting against yourself is the key to win. However, that will mean you'll have to sacrifice the fun as that gives fun in sports betting is when our emotion are in control, this strategy is to follow our mind and fade our heart.
599  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: December 20, 2023, 11:13:16 AM
Detroit Pistons is near to break the record for longest winning streak. Last 2 loss game for being tie on number 1 spot and last 3 games to claim the title solo. I’m not watching frequently NBA matches these days but I always check Piston progress for their record.
They are enjoying their losing streak now as they are bound to make a history.

Detroit has lost its competitiveness as majority of the games they lose is via huge margin, they can't win like that. It would be okay if they lose by 3-5 points as there's still a chance they would improve and win. It's hard to predict which team they'll beat to stop their losing steak, however, I think they have a chance if they'll play a team that are on continues games and that their opponent will be tired due to fatigue factor.


I will not be surprised if they beat number 1 seed like Boston and Wolves to stop their streak because I watch many games in the past that records being broke by the least expected team.
With fatigue factor which is a disadvantage, it could hit any team, even teams at the top of the ranking.

Jazz vs Piston tomorrow! Time to -10.5 for Jazz.  Cheesy

As the poster above cited, you are too advance.

Gone are those days where shitcoins and meme coins have brought massive profits to its investors. Now, they're all up to losses and anyone who's not aware of it will definitely invest like suicidal. When that happens, your money and time will definitely go into waste.

People get burned because they chose to invest first to altcoins because of their cheap prices hoping that they can maximize their profit opportunities with it, and put bitcoin as their last priority because of it expensive price. When they start losing, that's the only time they realized that altcoins are nothing compared to bitcoin. Bitcoin is the king of the crypto market, so it's obvious that it has all the potentials to be highly successful and profitable in the end, unlike altcoins that are only good in their promises but eventually lose their value in the end.
